why is my Honda CR-V Fifth Generation (2017-2022) engine shaking at idle

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and materials needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and turn off the engine.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts.

2. Replace Spark Plugs (if faulty)

• Remove the ignition coil or spark plug wires from the spark plugs.
• Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the old spark plugs.
• Inspect the old plugs for wear; if damaged, install new spark plugs with the correct gap.
• Torque the new spark plugs to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 13-15 lb-ft).
• Reconnect ignition coils or spark plug wires.

3. Check and Replace Engine Air Filter

• Open the hood and locate the air filter housing.
• Remove the air filter cover by unscrewing or unclipping it.
• Take out the old air filter and inspect for dirt or debris.
• Install a new air filter, ensuring it fits snugly in place.
• Reattach the air filter cover securely.

4. Inspect and Replace Engine Mounts (if worn)

• Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
• Locate the engine mounts; they are typically between the engine and the chassis.
• Use a socket set to remove the bolts securing the engine mounts to the engine and chassis.
• Replace any worn or damaged mounts with new ones, ensuring proper alignment.
• Torque the new mount bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
